Consultation Hub

In December 2016 the Council carried out a Consultation on a proposal to introduce a signalised crossing at the Angel Hill junction and making the crossing Shared-Use so that cyclists could also use it (and the footways around the crossing).

There were 17 responses in total to the consultation.

12 people (60%) agreed and the majority of the 12 people strongly agreed with the proposal to introduce a “staggered” Pedestrian Crossing at the Angel Hill junction location.

There was an approximately 50/50 split in terms of those in favour and those against making the crossing Shared-Use.

The Council in conjunction with Ward Members has made the decision to progress the scheme to implement a Pedestrian Crossing at this location, but has decided to not progress the Shared Use option at this stage. Where the Crossing design, would not have significantly changed between the proposals, it allows this concept to be re-considered in the future should residents views change.

Carers to feed back on what our commissioning priorities should be for 2015 - 2017, and what they thought about our suggested approach to meet the requirements of the Care Act.

Carers told us that we should continue to offer a mix of support in the community, and support via personal budgets. Carers wanted to be more involved in commissioning activity, and for commissioning activity to focus on ways to promote the early identification of carers.

We developed the Joint Carers Commissioning Strategy based on feedback from carers, local partners and key stakeholders across SCCG and LBS. The Strategy is being implemented over the course of 2015 - 17.

For your views both on the principles behind the proposal and the way we would like to implement it.

That you understand the financial constraints put on the council. You recognised the challenges that may arise for some providers in a competitive market and a changing economic climate.

We will report back to the residential care providers forum in September 2012
